Oklahoma comics retailers reflect on year's best-sellers

The “Death of the Family” crossover in Batman comics has also been selling well.

Batman's presence in the movie theaters this year may have helped push “Batman: Court of Owls” to best-seller status in the Warr Acres store. “Batman: Earth One” sold well for the shop, as did evergreen Batman titles including “Long Halloween,” “Hush” and “The Killing Joke.”

Of the Marvel NOW! Relaunch, Cox said “Uncanny Avengers” came out of the gate the strongest seller, with “Fantastic Four” and “FF” exceeding expectations.

Joey Belden, of Atomik Pop, 7884 S Western, said DC Comics' “Batman” and “Justice League” have remained mainstays, but the best-selling comic of the year for them was Marvel's “Uncanny Avengers” No. 1. “'Avengers vs. X-Men' was up there as well,” Belden said.

The first “Walking Dead” trades also topped Atomik Pop's list, followed by “Batman: Court of Owls” and “Batman: Earth One.”
